Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a more personal and interesting way to get to know the place through the people who live there. Besides I really like to hear people's stories and discover how different and diverse people are in this world. It's fascinating!
Music, Movies, and Books
I really like bachata and reggaeton (I know opinions differ on these two :). Other than that I am open to almost any kind of music, my favorite being brazilian reggae, french and balkan pop and I'm getting more and more into cumbia! Some of my favorite movies are Lucky Number Slevin, The Breakfast Club, The Spectacular Now and the LOTR Trilogy My favorite book by far is "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink (favorite author in general). I am also starting to read more and more literature in Spanish. Particularly becoming a fan of Vargas Llosa :-)

What I Can Share With Hosts
I am interested in any kind of language exchange :) So, if you want to practice English, German or Russian, I'll be glad to help :) I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese and Arabic, so I'm always happy about an opportunity to practice!
